Using a piece of construction paper, draw the outline of of the object to be painted (for example, draw the trunk of the tree or the outline of a pumpkin). Cut a kitchen sponge into roughly 1 inch pieces. Pour a few puddles of the appropriate colored tempera paint onto a paper/plastic plate and put a piece of sponge in each puddle (to avoid color mixing and to allow more than one child to paint at a time). Simply stamp the colors onto the construction paper to create a work of art!

We did this with our kiddos a few weeks ago--they turned out great! The even added a few "falling leaves" down the paper. :)
